Caution: To prevent possible damage to the OIT, we
recommend waiting ten seconds after removing power to the OIT
before applying power again.
To connect the OIT to power:
1. Connect the power cable to the OIT
a. Strip the power cable shield to expose 2” of the black
and red wires.
b. Strip about ¼” of insulation from the black and red
wires.
c. Connect the red wire to the DC positive (+) input of the
OIT power terminal.
d. Connect the black wire to the DC negative (-) input of
the OIT power terminal.
e. Connect the power cable shield wire to the OIT power
terminal’s chassis ground input.
2. Route the power cable to the OIT power supply. The power
cable should not be any longer than necessary.
3. Install the power supply wires as follows (with colors shown
for Maple Systems cable P/N 6030-0009):
Color Power Supply OIT
Red +Output/+24V DC +24 V

NOTE: The power connector on the Silver Series is a terminal block
with wire clamps. Lugs are not required.
Panel Preparation
A metal panel or mounting surface with a minimum thickness of 15
gauge (0.059 inch/3.3mm) if cold-rolled steel or hardened steel, or 10
gauge (0.101 inch/2.6mm) if aluminum alloy (6061-T6 preferred) is
required. Thinner panels or surfaces may bow between the mounting
clamps and not form a seal with the gasket. Make sure all supplied
mounting clamps are used and that the panel does not flex or bow more
than 0.010” to ensure a proper seal.
